PAPER- A short movie
Last year, when my papers got over, on a boring day i decided to do something interesting, though the outcome was boring just like that day, but still i think the video is quite bearable.
So spare your 6 mins. to bear my first attempt.
Made using My Sony DCR-HC46E for recording and Windows Movie Maker for editing errors and terrors (Premiere was giving me format headaches)
Please express your burps!
Its NOT inspired from "Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets"

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE / SLUMDOG CROREPATI: REVIEW
With the news of Slumdog Millionaire's constant winning streak . I got curious to know what the heck's in the movie. And since its releasing on 23rd Jan and so are my annual papers, I thought when will piracy play its vital role. So I searched it over the net and finally found the English version of it on orkut.
a still from slumdog millionare
Plotty Potty:
Based on Vikas Swarup's novel "Questions and Answers", Slumdog Millionaire is a not-so-ordinary rags to riches story of a boy named Jamal Malik told in a not-so-ordinary way.
Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) participates in Kaun Banega Crorepati ( Indian version of Who Wants to Be A Millionare) to find his childhood love Latika (Freida Pinto) where he is accused of cheating.
The movie starts with Jamal being interrogated by the police about how he knew the answers to all the questions. The movie unfolds as Jamal narrates his sour n' sweet experiences behind every answer.
So is the movie really so good?
- Ya b) No c) Not really d) Damn' You
and the answer is… 'c' … Slightly overrated and over-awarded.
And about the acting ?
- Fine b) Yuck c) Good d) Brillaint
And the answer is… 'c'
It could have been brilliant.
Though the acting is well ( neither good nor bad) but the movie in English is a little bit undigestible. Plus that Mr. Salim, as he grows not only his English improves but he starts speaking with a lil' bit of brit accent (not even gujarati Patel). Anil Kapoor and Saurabh Shukla were good. Irrfan Khan looked boozed. Latika (Freida Pinto) looked beautiful and acted beautifully.
Kudos to the child artists in the movie, especially the youngest Jamal and his brother Salim.
The movie has got its own flaws (KBC was never telecasted live) but the director Danny Boyle knew how to hide the flaws with his intelligent story-telling.
Soundtrack:
The background score by AR Rahman goes along the mood of the movie (the O Saiyya,Ringa Ringa,Sitar music)
Craziest Scene:
When youngest Jamal jumps in shit to get the autograph of Amitabh Bachchan (the fake one)
Coolest Scene:
Old bollywood style of increasing the age, but I really liked the scene when youngest Jamal tries to steal the food from the train.
Sucking Scene:
The AR Rahman's 'Jai Ho' comes before/along the credits with a damn' dance number (which looked similar to ek challis ki last local's kya hua jo lari chuti… but this one was more weird looking)
When expectations exceed, celestial bodies decrease.
